Century C2 MK2 Command & Control Carp Rod | 12ft 3.25lb Abbreviated Handle Minimal Rings

The Century C2 MK2 Command & Control Carp Rod – 12ft 3.25lb Abbreviated Handle Minimal Rings is the evolution of one of the most respected carp rod ranges ever produced. Originally launched to continue the legacy of cult classics such as the Armalite and NG, the C2 quickly earned a reputation across the UK and Europe for its exceptional balance, lightweight feel and outstanding fish-playing action.

The MK2 Command & Control update refines the original design concept while bringing modern cosmetics and blank refinements in line with today’s carp angling demands.

12ft 3.25lb – Classic C2 Action with Added Versatility

The 12ft 3.25lb model maintains the cherished C2 playing characteristics while offering slightly increased backbone over the 3.00lb version. With a marginally larger blank diameter, it comfortably handles 3.5oz leads and delivers improved distance on small to medium-sized lakes — all while retaining the smooth, progressive action that defines the C2 range.

Ideal for:

• Small to medium UK venues

• Anglers casting standard 3–3.5oz leads

• Maintaining control and feel when playing fish

• A true all-round 12ft setup

Advanced Blank Technology

Built using Century’s High Performance Resin system, the C2 MK2 allows for a lighter, more responsive blank without compromising strength or toughness.

Key technologies include:

• Autoclave cured blank for long-term action retention

• Full 1k-1k carbon outer weave from butt to tip

• Refined taper for enhanced control and casting stability

• Custom PTFE/Silicone low-scratch matt sealant finish

The result is a rod that maintains its crispness and performance season after season.

Abbreviated Handle & Minimal Ring Configuration

This version features an abbreviated handle design for reduced weight and a more traditional aesthetic, offering excellent balance in hand.

Fitted with Minimal ring configuration, the rod benefits from:

• Reduced overall tip weight

• Improved recovery speed

• Enhanced casting efficiency

• Clean, understated styling

The custom Century 1k-1k carbon reel seat with matt black metal hoods and lock rings adds both durability and modern aesthetics, while black screen-printed logos keep the look discreet and premium.

Built in the UK – Engineered to Perform

Manufactured entirely in the United Kingdom, the C2 MK2 benefits from Century’s long-standing expertise in aerospace and motorsport carbon composite technology. Each rod is precision built to exacting quality standards, ensuring consistency, longevity and performance.
